A world without money: communism - Les Amis de 4 Millions de Jeunes Travailleurs

Un Monde Sans Argent: Le Communisme was originally published in three parts, as three separate pamphlets, in France, between 1975-6. It was produced by Dominique Blanc, shortly after the dissolution of the Organisation des Jeunes Travailleurs révolutionnaires. The name Quatre Millions de Jeune Travailleurs was apparently 'adopted' from a 1971 PSU youth publication (Parti Socialiste Unifié - a French Socialist Party), presumably to satisfy French publishing laws, and texts continued to be published under this name through the 1970's including the widely distributed tract A Bas Le Proletariat/Vive Le Communisme.

We publish it because not only does it give a clear enough picture of future society, but it also shows what we have always held, that the spread of socialist ideas does not depend exclusively on our own efforts because capitalism itself generates the idea of socialism

Hopefully someone will get round to an english translation of Part Three which together with the first two parts will demonstrate it's clear superiority over the approach of the spgb (and a good few anarchists as well) even if they share a formal commitment to a future communist society.

I translated the text to Portuguese and agree with you in the matter of disapointment and of the irrelevance of that to the importance of the text.
I would like to substantiate better the claims I made. There was a Wikipedia article about that guy that said he and Dominique Blanc were the authors of the text and provided the link to his present site.
Maybe someone more knowlegdable could help us on this.

Thanks for that reminder. I think age is affecting my memory since I/we had past connections with La Banquise and other groups mentioned in this text and recall the contentious issues raised around 'holocaust denial' in the context of an otherwise genuine attempt at a critique of democracy and antifacism, though the names of those involved also escaped me. This self-critical text is valuable in explaining the root of past errors and the folly of individual pride.

According to French Wikipedia, Jean-Pierre Tillenon is a supporter of the fascist think tank GRECE, set up by Alain de Benoist. He has also set up his own far-right Breton separatist organization, Kêrvreizh, togehter with Dominique Blanc.

Since the Third Emsav we have a unified language, state and university as well as rooted in polytheism our Celtic tradition and Indo-European political ideology is federalism.
Federalism radically distinguishes us from regional Britons influenced by French Jacobinism. Cleavages "left / right", "good / bad", "fascist / not fascist" are the transpositions of "God / Devil" of the monotheistic mindset: they are totally overwhelmed.

If you want some documentation in English, you can check out this press release from a conference Tillenon participated in some years ago, titled "The White World's Future" :

So despite the tragic political trajectory of two of the claimed authors of this text, the eventual appearance of an english translation of the third part just now is very welcome. Apart from the unavoidably dated nature of some of the practical examples and references and a little meandering toward the conclusion, in it's fundamental approach it does not disapoint our expectations on reading the earlier appearance of the first two parts. Does anyone know if there were any critical reviews of the whole text around after it first appeared in French in 1976?
